The Were CEO's Secret

Scared of the unknown

Chapter Nine – Scared of the Unknown.

(The Pure Silver Moon Pack)

Two young pups ran to Nathan, shouting his name at the top of their lungs but he ignored them, cornering to a house. They ran after him waving their kites for him to notice them.

He cornered towards another house, and sped off down the alley. They ran to the corner and couldn’t see him from a far off, even with their wolf’s vision.

“He ran off?” one of them thought aloud, their hearts sunken that Mr. Nathan didn’t want to play with them.

Though they wondered how he ran down the alley without them catching a glimpse of him.

“Is Luciana home?” Nathan banged at the receptionist door, were Beta Cole was making out with a wolfess.

He released himself from the lady and glared at Nathan, “It is ‘Alpha Luciana' to you, and she isn’t seeing anyone…”.

Nathan didn’t wait before rushing into the house. The Beta attempted to rush after him but the wolfess held him with a kiss, distracting him.

“Luciana! Luciana!! I want to talk. Can I come in?” Nathan banged on her room door. He could hear her groan, and then her lazy shuffling of feet.

If she hoped to have rest, when she was doing nothing but troubling him, she was so wrong.

“Go away!” she told him from behind the door.

Nathan pushed the door open, and walked in, folding his hands and matching her shocked expression with a frown.

“Did I tell you to come in yet?”.

“No, but I saved you the trouble. Now, what part of ‘respect my policies' didn’t you understand?” Nathan queried.

He knew, on the day he ranted to his mother, that Luciana heard him, and she must have heard right!

Beta Cole knocked on the door, apologizing for letting Nathan in. Luciana waved for him to go away and not worry. He passed a glare at Nathan before moving away.

“Nathan, don’t get me more stressed than I am. I just fought back rogues trying to…”.

“I’m sorry, that’s not my business, now is it?”.

Luciana's mouth dropped open, “Not your business right? Then why don’t you go away and let me do my own business!” she barked.

“Well, that’s why I am here. You do your own business. While I do my own business. Do we have an understanding!?” Nathan retorted.

The Alpha shook her head. How was that human girl her brother’s business and why’s he being so protective and annoyed over her? She hadn’t send Cole to kill the girl, just be sure she wasn’t an agent sent to seduce her brother.

“Look, I protect this pack in many ways. In any way I want. And you shouldn’t dare defy my methods” she warned him, her eyes narrowing.

Nathan calmed himself as it was visible his sister was losing her temper. He wasn’t trying to ‘defy’ her but reason with her. But since she became Alpha, those words seemed synonymous.

“And you look, I am a twenty-four year old man. CEO and Genius. I know the difference between good and bad. I know what’s at stake here! I’d really like this to be the last time your policies override mine in my company”.

Luciana attempted to speak but he continued.

“Protect your wolf pack however you want. But no, I am family not your pack. I. Am. No. Wolf” he spelt out distinctly. Luciana's fist clenched.

“Luciana Bo-Ra Squeal!” someone called from behind Nathan, he turned and frowned deeper.

His mother walked in front of him, and ordered that he left. He wasn’t finished yet. This Alpha hadn’t agreed to leave Stephanie alone but he went along with his mother’s instruction.

He hadn’t spared hiss sister any glance even if he could feel her burning gaze on him. He had said what he said. And he meant each word!

He wasn’t one of her wolves that she could command to do her bidding. He was her family member. Which she owed protection, yes but not subduction. She should know the difference.

Luciana unclenched her fist as her mother held unto her shoulder leading her to the bed. She pulled her arms from her mother’s hold.

“I am fine. I need to sleep. Let me be” she sighed, crawling into her bed. Her mother crawled in bed with her much to her annoyance.

“Lucy” she started, “Nathan just wants the chance to have his own voice. Just like you wanted when you were younger”.

Lucy looked away, “And I'm just trying to make sure less casualties happened”.

Mrs. Squeal shook her head. Fear and grief were controlling her daughter. Not necessary power or subduction. She was scared of the unknown.

“Dear, you aren’t the sole protector of this pack. We love this pack. We care about this pack. None of us would bring harm to the pack. You should look away from the company. You signed ownership to him. He can interact with any humans, not all humans killed your mate”.

A growl escaped Luciana's lips at the mention of her dead mate. Her mother hummed down her remaining words, rubbing her hair, “Dear…”.

“Of course, not all humans killed my mate, mother” Luciana stood up. They wouldn’t dare.

They were weak and predictable. Her mate was strong and such pathetic creatures wouldn’t have stood a chance against him.

It was that creature, the sliest creature that ever walked the earth, that stood to defy her orders and risked having her mate killed.

It blamed the humans race but it’s luck ran out earning it’s death. She'd never forgive humans, they also played a part in it. Making her live alone for the past fifteen years of her life.

“I have heard you, I'd forget the girl and expect Nathan to do nothing that’d make me regret”.

Her mother smiled contentedly, “Just loosen up. Maybe open your heart to get a new mate. Leave your baby brother alone so he won’t be toxic or distance from you, okay?”.

Luciana dragged her mattress to her chest and nodded, absentmindedly.

“Also, that human girl, she’s someone Nathan can touch. Someone who isn’t family”.

Luciana snapped her head to her mother, “What? He can touch her?”. She wasn’t family so how could he touch her?

“Yeah, interesting, right?” her mother raised her brow.

“Yeah, I feel like I should know her better now…”

“You won’t. Promise?” her mother stretched her pinky finger to her. Her daughter rolled her eyes. She was supposed to do this?

“I am thirty-three. Too old for this!”.

“But you bicker with your brother. You’re never too old for anything. Pinky promise!?” her mother insisted.

Rolling her eyes even harder, Luciana ‘pinky promised' even though Stephanie's identity and connection to Nathan made her really curious.

When her brother was adopted, he never let anyone have skin contact with him or he’d convulse. They spent millions on surgeries and doctors till they raised it was more of a mental reaction. And soon, he was more welcoming to his family members.

How then did this human girl get to touch him? What secret or theory was behind this?!
